I hope they acknowledge Scott Drew's 400th career win on Saturday!!

Don't know what the final score is gonna be but I'm willing to be we don't shoot 44% from the FT line tonight. Rumor is that a few players got to spend a significant amount of time in the gym yesterday shooting FTs.

Cryer has a boot on. Did we anticipate that?

Here's a pic of the boot.

Morris just said it was related to his offseason foot injury and says it's precautionary more than anything else. Says he could have played tonight if needed but wants to make sure it is still okay.

Alcorn already gets T'd up.

Brown is like a gazelle gliding down the court. You don't notice until he's halfway in the air getting ready to slam it over the defender.

Akinjo can use both hands when driving to the basket as well as anyone we've ever had.

Bonner with 4. Hope he can get some confidence with a game like this. We may need him during conference play.

Beautiful press breaker and then assist from Sochan to Jtt for the slam.

Bears shooting 66% from the floor, 50% from 3 and 89% from the FT line. This would be an easy game to just go through it lazy and unfocused, knowing you would still win but the Bears are focused.

Need to step up defensive intensity. Alcorn on pace for mid 60 score which they have scored on almost everyone this season.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
UH beat them 77-45

Gonzaga beat them 84-57


Looking like they more score against us than those 2, but our offense should top both UH and Gonzaga production.
DanaDane

Mayer picks up 4th floor in first 20 seconds and heads to the bench. He has 0 points and 3 boards, 0 assists, 0 Steals and 1 TO tonight so far.
DanaDane

Great play by Thamba!

Blocks at one end of the floor, springs down the floor, Akinjo finds him underneath for an easy basket.
